Understanding evolutionary and ecological dynamics using a continuum limit
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Continuum limits in the form of stochastic differential equations are typically used in theoretical population genetics to account for genetic drift or more generally, inherent randomness of the model. In evolutionary game theory and theoretical ecology,

A practical genome scan for population-specific strong selective sweeps that have reached fixation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Phenotypic divergences between modern human populations have developed as a result of genetic adaptation to local environments over the past 100,000 years. To identify genes involved in population-specific phenotypes, it is necessary to detect signatures

The clarifying role of time series data in the population genetics of HIV.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 HIV can evolve remarkably quickly in response to antiretroviral therapies and the immune system. This evolution stymies treatment effectiveness and prevents the development of an HIV vaccine.

The molecular clock of neutral evolution can be accelerated or slowed by asymmetric spatial structure. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Over time, a population acquires neutral genetic substitutions as a consequence of random drift. A famous result in population genetics asserts that the rate, K, at which these substitutions accumulate in the population coincides with the mutation rate ...

Linking Diversity and Differentiation
Diversity, 2010 Generally speaking, the term differentiation refers to differences between collections for the distribution of specified traits of their members, while diversity deals with (effective) numbers of trait states (types).

Simulating population genetics of pathogen vectors in changing landscapes: guidelines and application with Triatoma brasiliensis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND:Understanding the mechanisms that influence the population dynamics and spatial genetic structure of the vectors of pathogens infecting humans is a central issue in tropical epidemiology.

Biology Direct, 2011 Understanding the evolutionary plasticity of the genome requires a global, comparative approach in which genetic events are considered both in a phylogenetic framework and with regard to population genetics and environmental variables.

Interplay between pleiotropy and secondary selection determines rise and fall of mutators in stress response. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Mutators are clones whose mutation rate is about two to three orders of magnitude higher than the rate of wild-type clones and their roles in adaptive evolution of asexual populations have been controversial.

Population genetics of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in captive giant pandas of China
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Most studies on Enterocytozoon bieneusi are conducted based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rRNA gene, whereas some have examined E. bieneusi population structures.
